科斯拉家族完成96.12亿美元收购海鹰队
球队方面表示,科斯拉家族周四完成了对西雅图海鹰队96.12亿美元的收购。八天前,NFL各队老板刚批准了这笔创纪录的交易。

交割与所有权
家族在周四的声明中说明了各人的分工:维诺德·科斯拉(Vinod Khosla)任主席,尼鲁·科斯拉(Neeru Khosla)是控股老板,兼任海鹰队慈善基金会主席,尼尔·科斯拉(Neal Khosla)任副主席。家族还公布了共同所有者名单:马克·史蒂文斯、阿拉姆布鲁萨巴拉家族、瓦尔·布拉瓦特尼克、谢丽尔·索科洛夫、贡萨洛·埃维亚·拜列雷斯、杰西·范德维尔夫、萨米尔·考尔、桑尼·古普塔、纳德·奈尼、佩妮·普利兹克、凯雷、Dynasty Equity 和 Sixth Street。尼鲁·科斯拉还担任 CK12 基金会主席,这家非营利组织由她参与创办。
家族表示“荣幸且兴奋地开启下一个篇章”,并称赞海鹰队的“冠军文化、赢球的橄榄球,以及与12人球迷和太平洋西北地区的深厚联系”。交割之后,乔迪·艾伦不再担任控股老板。保罗·艾伦2018年去世后,她接过了这一角色。
批准与创纪录价格
8月26日,NFL各队老板在亚特兰大举行的一日联盟会议上一致投票批准了这笔出售。批准至少需要32票中的24票。外界普遍预料会通过。7月11日周六,遗产方宣布了协议,此前ESPN的亚当·谢夫特和塞思·威克沙姆率先报道了此事。
96.12亿美元的价格比此前的NFL纪录高出59%。2023年,乔什·哈里斯以60.5亿美元买下华盛顿指挥官队。1997年,保罗·艾伦买下海鹰队时花了1.94亿美元。交割价接近这一数字的50倍。价格低于一些人此前提出的100亿美元。《今日美国》报道称,这一价格在北美运动队中排名第三,仅次于湖人队连续两年分别以100亿美元和125亿美元成交。
出售的原因
艾伦的遗嘱要求出售球队并捐出所得。据NFL称,大部分资金将捐给保罗·G·艾伦基金会。2010年,他签署了“捐赠誓言”,承诺将很大一部分财富用于慈善。2月18日,遗产方启动正式出售程序。此时距海鹰队赢下第60届超级碗还不到一个月。
49人队股份与买方
2025年,科斯拉买下49人队3.1%的股份,该交易对这支球队的估值为85亿美元;《今日美国》报道的股份比例为3.5%。联盟规则要求他在接管西雅图球队之前卖掉这部分股份。艾伦公司负责操盘出售流程。一份联盟备忘录称,在多家合格竞标者中,科斯拉集团是优先买方。科斯拉现年71岁,是太阳微系统的联合创始人,经营科斯拉创投。据《福布斯》报道,该公司是第一家投资OpenAI的风投机构。《福布斯》估计科斯拉的净资产为137亿美元。
总裁罗杰·古德尔表示,科斯拉家族了解西雅图,了解它的球迷群体,也了解联盟。“这让我们所有人都对这笔交易格外感兴趣,”古德尔说。
9月9日,海鹰队将在新赛季首战对阵新英格兰爱国者队,这是第60届超级碗的重演。
